That **** Bernardi wins an upper house seat

[dedja]

Good result if you like sporting events
What will he get next?

Not so good result if you want an ambo or hospital bed or struggling with cost of living
Not to mention the State Debt

Doesn’t matter which party wins an election by such a massive margin, it’s bad news regardless.

Yep … 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 … before he quits ON but sucks on the public teat doing SFA for 8 years

[dedja]

I think what’s happening in Nurungga is that whilst ON are ahead on 1st preferences, the Electoral Commission pre-determine the anticipated 1st and 2nd first preference leaders on the night (Liberal and Independent by the looks of it) so they direct the booths to count 2CP on that basis, NOT whoever are 1st and 2nd as per counted first preference votes.

They do this to give the media something to report on election night. This will all be recounted properly later, so ON do have a big chance to win this seat.

By the way, doesn’t matter if ON win 1, 2 or even 3 lower house seats, Labor will have such a massive margin that they can do as they please.

It has to be said that the polling appears to have been very accurate.

At this stage, absolutely.

we're stuffed without a decent opposition. And the opposition is opposing itself. What a clusterfxxx of a state.

[Jim05]

And ON get Hammond by the looks

Far too early to call I’d say.

Cluster&%$# of an opposition, definitely.

It's possible the ALP + Green end up with a majority in the upper house, but the Greens don't tend to give Labor much of a free pass, so it's not quite the case the Labor have carte blanche.

ON leading Labor on Primaries with the Libs and Independent following.
Was mentioned that both the Libs and Independent has preferenced ON in Hammond so not sure how they don’t win it unless there is a massive swing in the count

[morell]

Who was that Liberal SA party stooge that was always in here parroting absolute rubbish. I can't remember but whoever you were.

EAD

And they need to keep Hurn
